Howard's Reflecting Pool

Howard's Reflecting Pool | January & February 2010

  Recognizing that our publications now covers two months rather than just one, at times it is either
necessary or appropriate to combine themes. January is obviously about new beginnings.
February, with Valentine’s Day, is generally about love. What could be more perfect than to
establish a new beginning and renewed intention to express the most potent spiritual power, love, in
our life and consciousness? As the words of the Apostle Paul state and are often quoted; “. . . faith,
hope, love abide, these three, but the greatest of these is love.” I Cor. 13.
 
  We live in a world and time in which we are seriously challenged by circumstances that can cause
us to forget that our true nature as children of God is love. Patterns of polarity and separation are
reflected everywhere in what we see, hear, and read regarding war, politics, economics, the haves and
the have-nots, and other problems facing the world. If we are not intentional, it is easy to fall asleep
spiritually and be drawn into these patterns in our own personal lives.
These energies and patterns of polarity must be countered with energies of love and oneness. If we
are not into love and oneness at least to some degree, where are we then likely to be with our thoughts
and energies? The answer is that we go into various degrees of fear. Fear is the enemy of love. It
drives people apart while love brings them together in union.

  Individually, and as a member of the collective consciousness of the world, we are called upon by the
“Will of God” to make the choice again and again to be intentional with living from the heart and not
the head alone — to choose love.

  As we begin this new year of 2010, let us do so with the deeply dedicated desire and intention to be
love, thereby serving God, serving the Highest that is in us, and thereby being on purpose with our
lives.

Peace and Blessings,

Howard E. Caesar
